Default rear bumper build with tire carrier and trimmed rear quarter fender

I decided to build myself a bumper for the jeep and this is the outcome. I am very happy with the results.

I like it, do you have design pics with measurements? Also, what size lift and tires you got?

How heavy is it? Looks pretty light.

I have no idea on the weight but it is strong and heavy.

the main part of it started out as a 6 foot piece of 3" by 6" C-channel that was trimmed to size and boxed with 1/4" plate. The mounts are out of 3/8" plate that attach to tubing that was inserted into the uniframe, the d-rings go through the channel to the plates. The quarter guards are made from 3"x6" x 1/4" thick rectagular tubing.

It attaches to all the hitch bolt holes in the uniframe with grade 8.

I have no worries about it being light.

What type of system or fabrication did you use for the tire swing?
Looks good
